"I have lived in the area since February 2012 and have driven down Mentor Avenue many times
without really considering the majestic house that sits on the large lot at 8095 Mentor Ave. This is surprising because deep down I am a history buff; I have a picture of my 1 year old son at Gen Patton's grave and I once took my pregnant wife on a tour of the Verdun battlefield in France - that was not a good idea. That all changed when I was asked by Tim Shirer the Publisher of the Lake County Sentinel to accompany him on a tour of the President Garfield Historical Site to take pictures with him for an article.

She was the crossing guard at Wickliffe Elementary (formerly Lincoln Elementary 1923-1982). She crossed “her kids” in warm, hot, cold, blistering cold, sunny, rainy, and snowy weather with care.
Friday was the last day of school for Wickliffe Elementary School students and the end of the 28 year journey for Vicki. It was also the end of the road for venerable Wickliffe Elementary as the school will close after 101 years. Click here for the whole story

CAVALIERS BEAT WRITER
(CLEVELAND, OH) - On Wednesday night at Rocket Mortgage FieldHouse, it was a historic night for the NBA. It was the first time in the 79 years of the league that two teams with 15 and 10 game winning streak had met and only the third time that two teams with double digit winning streaks have met. This time it was the visiting Oklahoma City Thunder with the league’s second-best record at 30-5 (13-3 road) on a 15-game winning streak facing the Cleveland Cavaliers who owned the NBA’s best record at 31-4 (18-1 home) and on a 10-game winning streak. The Cavs came out quick in a game where the lead changed 30 times and the Cavs shutout the Thunder in the last 2:03 to secure the 129-122 win and have now won 11 straight games and have a two-game lead over the Thunder for the best record in the NBA at 32-4.
